Earlier this month, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) announced they will achieve 100% renewable energy by 2040 (previously by 2050) and also up their mid-term target to 60% by 2030. This is a big victory as greenpeaceeasia Taipei office has been actively campaigning for them to reconsider their renewables target.
TSMC is the world’s 3rd largest semiconductor manufacturer. Its operations are extremely energy intensive, consuming 7% of Taiwan’s electricity, so for the company to switch to renewables is a big step forward to achieving a cleaner, greener future.
